Hi everyone, I finally have enough photos to warrant starting a blog. My friends and I have been exploring the south lake tahoe area and finding lots of amazing new boulders. I am really hoping to provide as many photos as possible about the process of looking / cleaning and trying to climb these new lines.

| the forbidden project, v13+ - although this wall looks amazing - the holds are fragile and a few broke as we were working the moves. I do think that they have settled in, and feel solid - this does take away from the overall quality - still a very good line though. |

Vitaly, great pics. I like the new blog. I'm glad to see other people realizing the amazing potential around here. The projects you guys have found look amazing. Keep it up man. Tahoe will probably never stop producing these awesome lines.
